Tim is sharp! Blessed by his scholarship!

When Dinesh can't win a debate, he goes to preacher mode. Every time he talks its a sermon.

Thank you Carrie-Ann.

Its just a book.......ok

The level of atheism throughout the rest of the developed world refutes any argument that religion is somehow a moral necessity, Countries like Norway, Iceland, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, Japan, the Netherlands, Denmark and the United Kingdom are among the least religious societies on Earth. According to the United Nations’ Human Development Report (2005) they are also the healthiest, as indicated by measures of life expectancy, adult literacy, per capita income, educational attainment, gender equality, homicide rate and infant mortality. Conversely, the 50 nations now ranked lowest in terms of human development are unwaveringly religious. Other analyses paint the same picture: The United States is unique among wealthy democracies in its level of religious literalism and opposition to evolutionary theory; it is also uniquely beleaguered by high rates of homicide, abortion, teen pregnancy, STD infection and infant mortality. The same comparison holds true within the United States itself: Southern and Midwestern states, characterized by the highest levels of religious superstition and hostility to evolutionary theory, are especially plagued by the above indicators of societal dysfunction, while the comparatively secular states of the Northeast conform to European norms. Of course, correlational data of this sort do not resolve questions of causality--belief in God may lead to societal dysfunction; societal dysfunction may foster a belief in God; each factor may enable the other; or both may spring from some deeper source of mischief. Leaving aside the issue of cause and effect, these facts prove that atheism is perfectly compatible with the basic aspirations of a civil society; they also prove, conclusively, that religious faith does nothing to ensure a society’s health.

So the atheist said when he fist got up after Dinesh... "And by God I'll do it?" What was that all about?

D'Souza had a chance to run just before his first rebuttal. He had no chance of responding rationally to anything that was said

In his opening Andrew was pointing out what people did to other people!!! Where is his argument about the theology of Christianity itself????

It's weird, that GOD denier gets so angry and cusses a few times,and Dinesh is so calm GOD Bless Israel and America 777

Thank you!

You know this APS reminds me of college and why I dropped out. They have many words but no wisdom

This Jewish atheists really makes the scripture very valid. The fool says in his heart. There is no God

It's so funny that a Jew is an atheist. God divorced Israel or the Jewish people and the Old testament. And the Jews were the ones that conspired to have Christ murdered. What a great legacy!

It's guys like the first one. Why drop that at college? These people were just morons. Newton Copernicus Galileo, Boyle. We're all religious. Men came to their findings based on their faith. And those people he talks about their murder each other. They would not Christians. It's obvious.

If enlightenment discoveries are to be credited to the Christians who built the infrastructure, are we also giving God the credit for Auschwitz?

Thanks very much.

50:00 wow.

How deep; Existente exists!!! Who would have thought of it!!

Christianity teaches this: "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Now tell me ... is that supposedly an evil teaching? Yes or no?

Dear H___, yesterday I impressed upon you the topic, which we will treat now, and you did not like it very much. But as a matter of fact, although you don’t show much interest, it is a very important topic, and what is even more, it has never been dealt with in messages so far. Today’s subject is homosexuality. If we review humanity’s history, we find that the topic of homosexuality has been treated in diverse ways. We have knowledge of cultures where homosexuality was considered normal and enjoyed common acceptance. This can be observed in the Roman civilization, at least in the period after the Republic, and in Greece. In the state of Sparta, society even encouraged homosexual relationships among warriors, because this contributed to increased courage and cooperation in battle, where the couples gave their life for each other. In contrast, certain societies had a very restrictive attitude against the homosexuality, as we can read in the Bible in the case of the Hebrews, whose law strictly prohibited that sexual practice under penalty of death. The reason was that reproduction, growth of the tribe, of the people, of the nation, constituted a main factor in people’s consciousness, and in that time, it was also vital for the community’s survival. We find something similar in aggressive, war-faring societies, for example in Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich, where homosexuality was punished as a human perversion with banishment in concentration camps, or in other words, with slow death. The moral justification was that homosexuals weakened “ethnic health,” that is, they didn’t contribute to the “production of warriors,” who would serve to kill and to die for the well-being of the homeland in the future. During the child’s development and also partly during adolescence, sexual preference is developed in a complicated process, still not very well known. This is called sexual fixation or stamp. In a large part of the population, sexual preference aims at the opposite sex, but in certain part it aims at the same sex, or may not be clearly defined, which we call bisexuality. It is difficult to set percentages, but the truth lies between the exaggerated extreme of 10% of the population and the other extreme of 0.3%. If we calculate a percentage of 2 to 3 percent for homosexuals and bisexuals, we are on safe terrain. I mention these numbers to point out to you that, although we deal with a phenomenon of minorities, it is quite a big minority, and for that reason it is a topic of common interest. In the persecution of homosexuality, many times the idea appears that homosexuality is unnatural because it doesn’t serve the true purpose of sexuality. Well, it is true that reproduction is only one aspect of human sexuality, which in fact encompasses much more. But even if we look at the animal kingdom, where sexuality exclusively serves the purpose of reproduction, we can observe that homosexuality does exist. It is a phenomenon, then, that for natural reasons develops in a part of the population. Besides reproduction, sexuality is the expression of love, of enjoying jointly, it has the function to attract two people and to keep them together. As in everything in life, sexuality can be practiced in harmony with God’s laws, that is to say, practiced in love and in seriousness, and one may also abuse it, in the field of heterosexuality as well as in that of homosexuality. One example would be great promiscuity that certainly is out of harmony, degenerating sexuality to pure desire for enjoying without giving love, and this bears serious consequences. Homosexuality, therefore, is a behavior which develops in a certain part of the population by a process of sexual fixation that one may observe in all social classes, in all societies, and even in the animal kingdom. It is an inclination that doesn’t constitute the norm, because only a minority is affected, but it is not unnatural and can be practiced in harmony with God’s laws, in the same way as heterosexuality. It is necessary to say that there is no reason whatsoever for prejudices and discriminations, and that it is humanity’s obligation to accept and to love homosexual people as any other person. It is a conflictive topic, H___, but this has been only the first part. The difficult part comes now. In the Padgett messages we can read that souls are created in duplex form, that is to say, two halves, sufficient for themselves, but complementary in a certain sense. You can infer, and it is even mentioned, that those halves are distinguished through their sexuality, a male and a female soul. But I tell you that the soul doesn’t know sexuality, and that sex is only determined with incarnation. Sexuality is merely a material function, and it doesn’t have anything to do with spirituality. In the spirit world, the spirit bodies don’t even have sexual organs. All kinds of love, of which we speak, for example natural love in the spirit world, or soul mate love, have nothing to do with sexuality. Only in the lowest earth planes can we still find the idea of sexuality and the intent of indulging in it, among the dark spirits still trapped in their lost earthly life. But in the higher levels, the idea of sexuality loses its value, it no longer serves and it doesn’t fit in the spiritual environment. The Love of God doesn’t have a sexual component, His Soul doesn’t have a sexual component, and neither do our souls have any sexual pre-formation, but this is rather a fleeting phenomenon, necessary for adaptation to earth life and the fulfillment of certain functions. While it is true that the two parts of the complete soul incarnate - in the great majority of cases - in bodies of opposite sex, this is not a rigid rule, and there are cases where this doesn’t happen. But this, you understand, has nothing to do with homosexual inclinations. In consequence, you will understand that in the reuniting of the souls returned to the spirit world, there is not necessarily a union of souls, where one incarnated in a male and the other one in a female. Don’t understand me wrongly, but sexuality no longer exists here, soulmates and homosexuality don’t have anything to do with each other, they are completely different things, at levels separated by a distance of years of light. What I have told you contradicts in some degree what has been received in that respect in the Padgett messages, but you have to understand that there was never a deepening of the topic, and at that time, with its inherent intolerance, it was not really the appropriate moment for touching on so delicate a matter, which doesn’t really constitute any problem, when you can detach yourself from the idea of sexuality, because, I repeat, sexuality is a purely material phenomenon, which disappears a short time after entering the new world of spirits. The love between soulmates is a highly purified love, a spiritual love, only overpowered in its quality by the Father’s Love. It is the highest form of natural love. Now, I think the moment has arrived to leave you some time to digest this. It is new and conflicting, but also fascinating. Think it over. It is not important that you understand it, nor even that you accept it, but it was my desire to deliver this information for the benefit of many people who expressed repeatedly their curiosity in this matter. I had to fight against considerable resistance in you, my dear brother, but I have achieved what I had intended, and the message passed through in an acceptable form. I am aware that you have many doubts now, but this is natural, when you receive something so surprising and contrary to what you used to believe. God bless you, Your brother, Judas.

I'm glad that Dinesh spoke about the Big bang, that is something that it pains me to hear atheists think about triumphantly without understanding that historically atheists and materialists believed the universe to be eternal, and science itself proved that to be incorrect, the Big bang proved that not only did the universe begin, but that space and time began as well at a specific point in history. Christians 1- atheist 0 The Bible had been speaking about the beginning of the universe for 2000 years and in the 1960s science caught up to it and proved them correct. How many more things are the Christians correct about that we don't yet have evidence for, there are plenty of things that are true and yet evidence is not available, the absence of evidence does not mean evidence of absence.

Anthropologists have discovered that there are around thirty nine major categories of human diseases, and historians know beyond any shadow of doubt, that Jesus of Nazareth when he was under arrest by the Romans, took 39 stripes from the Romans' whip. Same number! So what? The old testament prophet Isaiah, hundreds of years before Jesus' birth, wrote that "By His (the Messiah's) stripes, we are healed"! Many people have been miraculously healed due to that sacrifice. Anthropology also knows that there are one hundred fifty three 'kinds' of human beings on earth. For example, the Nepalese mountain people are very different from the Australian aborigines, and so on. In the gospel of John, twenty first chapter, the newly resurrected Jesus tells His disciples who were out on the lake commercial fishing, to pay out the net on the opposite side of the boat. They then caught 153 fish. Same number! So WHAT? He then tells His shocked disciples to be fishers of men, to go into ALL of the world and preach the Gospel. There were no coincidences and secular history plus anthropology proves it

A B left out Copernicus

There would've been no Mercy Ships if Christianity was banned

Dr James Dobson the internationally renowned educator discovered in his research that there has never been a society in the history of the world, which has survived the total blurring of the sex roles.

Former atheist and award winning journalist Lee Strobel did exhaustive research from multiple experts and sources, in an attempt to disprove Christianity, because he wanted to destroy the faith of his newly converted wife. HE freely admitted eventually that he FAILED. He is now a pastor.

Professor Michael Behe's concept of irreducible complexity is hard to refute, when one rejects intelligent design.

Albert Einstein was a creationist

Second roughest body of water in the world is said to be the Shelikof Straits in AK; it was the site of a commercial fishing boat wreck which took the life of a 3 yr old, who was medivaced to a hospital nearby. Prayers and ministry to her preceded the accident, and continued as the attempts to bring her back were ongoing. She had QUARTS of sea water (probably with from fossil fuel, etc. residue, too, because it was a boat sinking) removed from her tiny lungs, and then as she was telling how she had seen her grandfather (also on the boat when it went down, but he had died & couldn't be resuscitated) on a beautiful path (while she was in that icy water for 20 minutes), turning around and telling her that she had to go back! Clearly, the toddler had an after death experience!That was decades ago, and that woman is doing great today. Miracles still happen; that is the bottom line!

But he (B) does not explain where gravity came from.

He fails to point out that Darwin, toward the end of his life, had serious misgivings about the benefits to humanity, of his theory of evolution.

Isaiah wrote that "it is He who sits on the CIRCLE of the EARTH," LONG before science discovered that the latter was round. Job, in that Old Testament book, wrote that, "the stars sang", LONG before modern astronomers discovered that sounds do indeed come from some stars.

Pentecostals got thrown into the Gulag Archipelago prison camps. Currently, persecution and martyrdom against Christians has never been worse in the history of the world than it is right now. No justice nor mercy there, regardless of what the athe*sts and their cohorts say.

"Just because there is a 🐀in the 🍪 jar, does not mean that you call him a 🍪 !"

Former agnostic here. I was raised to be a Christian but ran from it in my youth. Then the events happened which were irrefutable proof that Yeshua Hamashiach is Who He says He is so I have tried to serve Him ever since. Praying grandmothers, do not give up! I know mine did not and I am thankful!

I’d like to see Dnesh debate Matt Dilhaunty. He mopped the floor with this guy. And I came in here thinking the other guy would win.

it's difficult to debate Andrew Bernstein coz he litters the place with assertions and support them with more assertions. Listening to him one may be able to pick-up tidbits of information but not end up learning something substantial

Dinesh D'Souza wiped the floor with him

Wow, what a given out and overdone vastness of nonsense. So far, the audio of this video wins first place in the "White Noise Used For Sleeping" contest...bar none.

Track 35:35-36:00 Consciousness does not exist without existence. Has Andrew ever read the Bible in its entirety? Because that is exactly what Ecclesiastes 9:5-6, 10 (below). “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.” Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom

It's very difficult because people think what we have now is capitalism. I'd ask what's the alternative to peacful, voluntary trade? There's only one answer and that's force. Take your pick.

I'd say Mother Theresa was motivated by a sense of human unworthiness, guilt, shame, and utter self-contempt. She refused even basic medical treatments for those in her care, sacrificing their health and lives to her delusional (nonexistent) need for atonement and redemption. Pure altruism. Though he didn't apply that term, I'm with Hitchens on this one. She was a tortured, sadistic, financially corrupt little goblin.

Amazing clip of Biddle!

Thank you. Nicely done.

Sad sad little man, how can men do evil commanded by a God that doesn't exist?

1:06:00

Strong Survive weak Must Die get rid of the ones that are just taking up resource let's live a true evolutionary life there's no such thing as sympathy empathy Grace or care these are Christian values the world doesn't need.. kidding of course, atheist should have no problem with that

Oh Dinesh…you can be an atheist or a religious person who believes in the impossibility of God and both can be crazy, but..the Christian’s win when it comes to crazy and evil.

Poor Dinesh, he’s such an intelligent man, but he loses the ability for all rational thought, logic and common sense when it comes to religion. The fairy tales told as proof of God are simply ridiculous, he actually thinks that the false writings of man in the Bible are an actual outline for the existence of the impossibility of God. I was a 5 year old child when I realized that God was impossible, just like Santa and the Easter Bunny. This was to the dismay of my extremely religious Catholic family. That was 50 years ago…. they tried to brainwash me for about 10 years growing up until I could decide for myself that I was no longer going to comply. Of course they are still trying, but if you keep your wits about you and focus on rational thought, you can avoid religious indoctrination.
